I am a licensed clinical social worker and have worked with adults, couples, and adolescents in my practice of psychotherapy for over 35 years. My post-graduate training includes The Family Institute, Northwestern University. My specialties include eating disorders and body image issues, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, stress management and couples therapy. My approach to psychotherapy is psychodynamic (to understand and process past experiences), with the addition of cognitive-behavioral (CBT) and dialectical behavioral (DBT) techniques to help facilitate and maintain positive change. I enjoy working with adolescents 15 and older, and with adults throughout the life-span. I offer a free 20 minute initial phone appointment. I am not in network with insurance, but will reduce my fee in the case of financial need.

I do IFS Therapy. If you're looking to get to know parts, or deepen your connection to parts of you that feel problematic, it starts with getting to know the parts of you that have protected you for so long from that problematic behavior.

I am IFS Level 1 trained, and actively participate as a Program Assistant in Level 1 trainings.

I provide individual, couples, group and customized Intensive counseling, as well as LPC Supervision.

I specialize in serving adults (21+) and couples who feel stuck, have unresolved grief, struggle with unmanageable stress or betrayed trust (pornography, infidelity), have concerns with personal boundaries or codependency, have relatives or friends who abuse substances, work on their own recovery, or desire true healing from trauma or abuse (emotional, physical, substance or sexual).

I invite a relational, interpersonal approach with my clients, as we engage your beliefs, needs, hopes, and expectations - even for therapy itself. Many clients also find it helpful to look at the ways in which their past continues to be replayed in dissatisfying current relationships, situations and experiences.

I believe that personal growth is the key for leading a fulfilling and satisfying life. Because achieving positive growth is a unique process for each individual, I strongly believe in modifying my counseling style and methods to fit each client's specific personality and needs. It is my responsibility to create a therapeutic environment in which my client(s) feel accepted, validated and safe enough to work through personal issues. I am currently obtaining my Master's degree in Counseling from the University of Colorado, Denver. My areas of specialty training and interests include trauma, grief/loss, depression, anxiety, guilt/shame, and working with the aging population.
